greetings from Vancouver...

hi Arthur,

i thing that taxi driver has a good taste regardless the watch is real or not, i take taxi every day, most drivers are man and wearing Rolex. from my observation, i guess almost all are fake one.

by the way, back to your economc story, last saturaday before departing from singapore airport to vancouver for a scientific meeting, at the airport, went in to a watch shop because of having some spare time. of course aimed to see my beloved JLCs...

okay my story begins, the shop staff told me the watch will be closing down very soon by the end of this month, he did not explain the reason, but i guess it may be poor business due to poor economic. then most of watches are offerring BIG discount... some can be be as lower as to 55% less... so tempting right. so did i, can't resist from that... at the end i bought my first JLC reverso grane taille in PG some more.... (of course as i said i wanted to get reverso date, but no more stock).

in any case, i am so happy with my new pruchase!

So it's a recovery huh? (there is a watch link)

So did you...

Hello wmclarenf1, So did you leave a good $$$ tip for the cabbie to help stimulate the economy? -MW

I'm also skeptical, wmclarenf1 . . .

. . . whatever recovery we're seeing now in the American economy is probably due to the massive increase in public debt, which strengthens demand at the cost of currency devaluation and inflation. Also, the American government is in a highly leveraged pos...

Well Art, I think the balance of economic power has shifted some

but for those who think the USA, who is still the largest consuming economy, is a much musser power lesser or those who bought into the decoupling theory, well, ok... someone needs to lose for someone to gain I guess. That said, there is no doubt that the...

Wall street wants us to think we are. This reminds me of the early eighties, Japan seemed to be the dominate country by buying quite a bit of US commercial paper and real estate only to face their own crisis several years later. Now it seems that China is...

Very Interesting post...

I think you're on to something Jerry, after all you have been through some cycles so know what you're talking about, the word of caution regarding China, in the same vein as Japan was thought provoking. S

Fully agree. I think the intervention

prevents the full extent, or close to it at least, to surface. I don't think anyone knows the extent of the swaps etc although many speak as though they do. It would have been good to let those that needed to fall, fall. We would have been hit much harder...

By: FanFrancisco : September 13th, 2009-23:27

yes, good question... MUT is my first love as a dress watch, the problem will come of whic one (MUT or reverso taille) to be wearing when going for function next time. in any case, i think i likely keep both since i really the art of MUT with supeb thin m...

Hey, did you see if there are any Reverso Grande Date PG or Grande GMT PG there? Maybe PM me together with the name of the sales guy. Have a nice stay in Vancouver. I'm taking my family up there for a ski trip this December.

By: FanFrancisco : September 13th, 2009-23:50

the shop managed said they have started the shop clearing early of this month, because of big discount, some customers bought two watches at the same tims. both grande date and grande GMT models either in SS or PG are hot and no more stock in the shop any...
